Soo...I'm 36 years old.

Contact him. Tell him you are still haunted by a stupid thing you did as a kid. Tell him you are sorry and that you hope he will forgive you, though it was a long time ago.

And send him this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Wheels-50th-Annive...

He's probably got kids of his own now, and they'd love that!

I still remember the little Matchbox cars and other vehicles when I was a kid. They were very well made. I do not know if they are still around or not.

We were not in full possession of our faculties at age six. Ask for forgiveness, make amends. If you are not forgiven by him, ask God for forgiveness and then forgive yourself!

I think my ex is engaged and I wish it didn’t hurt me.

If it were meant to be, you would still be together.

All who have loved have at least once lost someone they loved.

Can a bank take your newer car days after purchasing it?

I would tell the dealership that a deal's a deal and I was not going to put up with any monkey business! The bank--God bless them--wants more money!

Hacking or smacking--you can hide a camera and get proof positive of anyone entering your living quarters.

You can hire a private investigation firm to watch your house.

I used to do counter-surveillance, which was letting clients know if a stalker or even another PI was surveilling them.

You can foil hackers. Have your computer checked for a keylogging program. Use a router like a firewall.

I would nail somebody who was just messing with me. The ideas I have suggested will prove, one way or another, if you are being messed with or not.

I've heard of crap like this happening before--the finance institution comes back and wants a higher interest rate.

Tell the dealership that you don't go for monkey business, and that you signed a contract with them. If the bank wants to change the deal, they'll have to take you to court--and then you'll take both the bank and the dealership to court! And make sure it's reported far and wide in the media!

Tell them that and watch how fast they backtrack off that garbage!

Sounds like gaslighting.

You can get the goods on them with hidden cameras. There are cameras they would never be able to detect!

When you "slept around," it probably got back to him and he figured you were wanting to hurt him with your behavior. That's not a certainty, but it's a definite possibility.

You don't say what your age and his was, but it may have been that you were just too young to get married.

People should be on their own for a few years before getting married. Otherwise they tend to have unrealistic expectations of each other.

You must have broken up for a reason. You can "what if" yourself to death after these things happen. But better to break up than to divorce!

Well, Anon, things get really complicated when Christians get caught up in MISTRANSLATIONS of the Bible. In Exodus, the Greek word for "wife" in the "Do not covet your neighbor's wife" context is the same Greek word translated into "woman" in Matthew 5:27-28. The passage should read, "Whoever looks at a wife to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

Yes, you can "lust" after your wife, or your fiance--and that's perfectly normal. Just do not look at her like a piece of meat. You should see the child of God first--the human being first--the soul first. Obviously, if we could not act on legitimate sexual attraction, we would go extinct as a species.

What the early Christian translators did not "get" when translating the Bible--because they lacked a background in Jewish custom and culture--was the meaning of "coveting" in the context of the Tenth Commandment. You have to know that when the Hebrew חמד or Greek ἐπιθυμέω are used as verbs in the Old Testament, it means desire directed at physically possessing the actual thing in question, and not merely the existence of the desire itself. So coveting actually means thinking about how you are going to GET the thing you desire, i.e., how you are going to take the man's wife or the woman's husband away for yourself. That's why coveting is so wrong!

Don't even get me started about Jepthah supposedly sacrificing his daughter as a burnt offering!

Sooo much consternation from these mistranslations! And the fundamentalists who insist that there is no translation but the 1611 King James version are the worst!

My idea of "authentic being" is that I could write a novel, and if I know it to be a great novel, then what the critics say doesn't make any difference to me. The same with all of my other work. Lesser minds cannot grasp the superior work of greater minds. Remember the saying, "Don't cast your pearls before swine"? We have all done that--been in positions where our superior work was judged by inferior minds.

That is why the standards of this world are irrelevant to me. Here's the two possible scenarios: (1) there is no God, and the universe eventually ends when the last proton disintegrates into nothingness, and everything that we did was in vain and for nothing; or (2) there is a God, and He keeps track of things, so that nothing we did was in vain or for nothing. Either way, the inferior mind judging the superior mind loses out. It doesn't matter how many accolades the inferior mind garners--the ultimate judge, God, sorts out everything in the end.

I go with scenario #2. It's cheerier, and I have my own experiences with God to know that He exists and is in control.

If you believe in God, and believe that you have a part to play in the Divine Plan, you can never be f*cked. Other people may think they are f*cking you, but in reality they are simply sealing their own doom.

I scoff at the standards of this world, which results in someone being a multimillionaire because he can throw a ball through a metal hoop, while a teacher or a nurse just manages to scrape by. Or a half-wit celeb rides a wrecking ball while nearly naked and rakes in $$$ as a result.

No, I will have none of that.

It's a very unfortunate truth that people will size you up based on your ***sex, your race, your ethnicity, your facial features, your voice, your clothes, your social and economic status, your formal education, the kind of car you drive, the house that you live in, etc., etc.

Look at who gets to be movie stars.

Did you know that, in the 1960s, IBM wouldn't hire any men under six feet tall?

The solution is to not care what the world thinks, and to not allow yourself to be judged by the standards of this world.
